About the editors
Koji Lau-Ozawa is an historical archaeologist whose research examines the intersecting realms of landscapes, diaspora,material culture, and memory. His research focuses on the archaeology of the Japanese diaspora, examining the material connections and landscapes of Japanese American communities. In particular he has worked in collaboration with the Gila River Indian Community to investigate the site of the WWII Gila River Incarceration Camp. This long-term project combines archaeological, oral historical and archival research in a transnational framework to study the camp landscape and flows of material culture. He has also conducted investigations on the material culture of a pre-WWII urban Japanese American community in Santa Barbara. These projects have been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, The Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant, as well as the Society for California Archaeology.
